Berta Valle is a Nicaraguan journalist and vocal critic of the Daniel Ortega regime. She is married to pro-democracy activist and former presidential candidate, Félix Maradiaga, who was imprisoned in an unprecedented crackdown on the opposition prior to the 2021 elections.
In this episode, Berta sits down with HRF Financial Freedom Operations Lead Arsh Molu (Financial Freedom at the Human Rights Foundation) to discuss the harsh realities of oppression, the resilience of the Nicaraguan people, and how—in the face of financial lockdown—freedom tech is becoming a lifeline for bypassing censorship and delivering much-needed aid.
